Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 439
"Sit down and talk slowly."

Yun Xi could see that Lou Xiaoya was nervous and at a loss, and knew the seriousness of this matter, otherwise, with Lou Xiaoya's calm temperament, how could she do such a gaffe.

Seeing that Yunxi was woken up, the maid outside the door was not angry, so she tactfully helped the two of them close the door and retreated out.

The voices of the servants in the yard outside came into the house in twos and threes, which disturbed Lou Xiaoya's mind even more. What happened just now was like a huge stone pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe.

"Cui'e, bring a pot of tea."

It was freezing cold at this time, and the steward had already ordered by the master to burn hot kangs in every room. It was not the same season inside and outside the house. Before Lou Xiaoya entered the room, her hands and feet were still cold. Not long after she sat down It becomes warm.

Yun Xi took Lou Xiaoya to sit on the soft couch in the house, and the maid on duty outside got the order, and hurried to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot tea to the two people in the house.

"Ma'am, you two speak slowly, the maidservant is going out first."

The servant retreated cleverly, leaving room for the two people in the room.

"Who first brought up the matter of Feng Quan's slander?"

Yun Xi knew that Feng Quan's character was obvious to all in the court, not to mention how clean and honest he was as an official, it was impossible for him to just take money and pervert the law.

"Prime Minister Li, he read Feng Quan's book at the court, saying that he withheld the monthly money of the people when he built the canal, so..."

She was so anxious that she became incoherent, unable to explain the matter clearly for a while, Yunxi quickly reached out and patted her on the shoulder when she saw this, Lou Xiaoya has a strong temper, but she has never seen Lou Xiaoya in such a hurry, it can be seen that the situation is urgent No delay.

"Speak slowly, let's figure out a way together."

Lou Xiaoya's eyes were red from anxiety, but she was relieved by Yun Xi's words, and took a deep breath to explain the incident in detail.

She reached out and grabbed something on the table, as if she wanted to find something that could give her a sense of security. Seeing this, Yunxi handed her the hand warmer that she had been holding all along.

This stove was brought to Xin by the maidservant early this morning, and it is still very warm. Lou Xiaoya took it unconsciously, and she was relieved when she had something in her hand.

"Feng Quan went to court some time ago, and he took over the construction of the canal. Who knows that this is not a good job at all, otherwise it would not be Feng Quan's turn to take over."

After listening to her words, Yun Xi was thoughtful. It is true that there are two groups of people in the court: one is working for the queen mother, and the other is doing their best for the emperor. Power over such an upright official.

It's just that this incident is strange. How could the hat of being slandered and corrupted be put on Feng Quan's head?
As if seeing Yunxi's confusion, Lou Xiaoya explained that she should have noticed this a long time ago. When Feng Quan returned to his residence a few days ago, he mentioned that the construction of the canal encountered some minor troubles.

She thought that Feng Quan meant that the construction of the canal had hindered some common people's farming, so she didn't ask much. Who would have thought that Prime Minister Li was involved in this.

"You mean the canal occupies the territory of Prime Minister Li's house?"

Yun Xi was secretly surprised. She had heard about Prime Minister Li from Su Ruoqi. This man was very demanding and greedy. He never thought that he would even take part in such a construction project that benefits the country and the people. What a shame!

"At that time, Prime Minister Li said that he wanted to pay compensation to their family, but that piece of land was ordinary land, and he insisted on paying three or four times the price. Isn't that a big mouth for a lion!"

Lou Xiaoya said angrily, the current unhealthy trend in the court is too much, those people even want to get a fortune for such a document project approved by the emperor.

If there were any disasters or wars in the future, they would have to empty the treasury before they would give up?

The tea on the table has been refilled two or three times, and Lou Xiaoya hasn't finished explaining the cause of the incident.

However, Yun Xi roughly understood that this incident was bloody enough, but it was Prime Minister Li who wanted to pay compensation but failed, and ended up slandering Feng Quan for corruption.

Lou Xiaoya huddled in the warm hand stove, but her heart was very confused. She didn't know what she should do to save Feng Quan and prove that Feng Quan was not corrupt at all, not to mention that there was no need to prove this matter. If Feng Quan is corrupt, how many clean officials are there in the court?
Lou Xiaoya was still pregnant with her child, and she was about to give birth to Lin'er in a few months, but it was really worrying that this kind of thing happened in front of her eyes. Yunxi stretched out her hand to hold Lou Xiaoya, secretly comforting her.

Although Lou Xiaoya has a strong temper, even if such an incident happened, she would not give in to others, but at any rate, she is also a mother who is about to become a mother. I don't say anything on the face, but I am afraid in my heart. Just for a while, in front of him Three or four cups of tea went down.

"Where's Xu Zheng? Is he all right?"

The two of them resented for a while about corruption and perverting the law, which were commonplace in the court, before Yunxi remembered that she forgot to ask Xu Zheng about it.

Xu Zheng was managing the accounts with Feng Quan, and basically all the expenses and accounts of the canal construction project passed through his hands. It would be incredible to say that Xu Zheng was not in a hurry.

Lou Xiaoya slapped her thigh, and Yun Xi was terrified when she saw that she was about to become a parent and it was so insignificant, only Lou Xiaoya could do such a thing.

Lou Xiaoya said worriedly: "I'm most worried about him being okay now."

Xu Zheng's temperament, Lou Xiaoya knew, it would be normal for him to cry a lot, but his current calm attitude, as if nothing had happened, is what makes Xu Zheng really unpredictable .

The two were anxious about Xu Zheng's attitude. After all, any actions of people around Feng Quan might be presented to Prime Minister Li's followers as "evidence" of corruption and perverting the law, but there was no point in worrying.

"The most urgent thing is which side the emperor will stand on to speak."

This is what Yunxi is most worried about. A word from the emperor can determine a person's life and death. If the emperor wants Feng Quan to die, how can he keep him alive for another day?In the final analysis, this matter depends on how the holy majesty stands today.

Lou Xiaoya listened to Yunxi's speculation, and said panickedly: "If the emperor really believes in Prime Minister Li, then our whole family will sleep on the street..."

Yun Xi comforted her with some headaches, what she said was good, why did she think of going in that direction, who knew that before she could comfort her, Lou Xiaoya continued to speculate wildly.

"It's still good, what if the emperor gets angry and charges us with a crime of robbery!"

Lou Xiaoya's body went limp and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, her back was slumped, and there were many cushions on it, which prevented her from falling.
